Why bug "Firefox is already running but does not respond" remains user's responsibility ?
I'm very disappointed (and angry) by the fact that this bug has been dragged from one version to the next version for years already. Just google a bit and you will see that it is an ever going sad story.
Questions, complaints, how-to's etc... year after year, always for the same issue ! How many people have become frustrated like me ?
I'm sure not the only user to be redirected from one possible solution to another possible solution. If that does not work, try this and that... and so on. I went from one "solution" to the next, and wasted hours, just to bump into this recurring stupid message, over and over again.
So my question goes directly to the developers : Why do we (users) have to care about fixing a problem that in the first place should not even exist ? Why does this problem remains for years without cure ?
Sorry guys, it is not the responsibility of the users to try all sorts of tricks. Just fix this thing please. What is actually my problem ? Very simple answer : Firefox

Do you get this error only after closing and restarting Firefox or always?
In case of the latter:
Do you still have a default profile and is the profile as you see in the profiles.ini file marked as "Default=1" still present?
Try to delete the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new profiles.ini file and a new default profile.
Thank you. Only after closing and restarting Firefox
- Make sure that Firefox closes properly and that there isn't a hanging Firefox or plugin-container process left in the Task Manager.
- Use "Firefox/File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the title bar.
- Try to wait a bit longer (30 seconds) to give Firefox more time to close properly.

Thank you
File - Exit (followed by 30 sec waiting before launching new session) makes no difference. Still same error when launching Firefox.
Win xp => Task Manger always required to kill running firefox.exe.
Did you check out the Hang KB articles that I mentioned above?
You can check for problems caused by extensions and plugins.
